In Malamud's story, Oskar Gassner was a Berlin critic and journalist, WHO escaped from GERMANY to the United States to serve as a lecturer. BECAUSE HE HAD DIFFICULTY writing and speaking English [was his problem] IT WAS HARD FOR HIM to convey his knowledge to the people in the United States. [His life had pushed him] HE WAS FORCED to learn English because his job required him to write a speech in English in a short time. [Therefore,] The story relates HOW HE LEARNED English with his tutor. There were times that Oskar wanted to give up, but he changed his mind.

He found himself in the loss of his language. Oskar THOUGHT he was useless, [same as] JUST LIKE Karl Otto Alp, the ex-film star that Malamud tutored. Karl says, "I felt like a child, or worse, often like a moron. I am left with myself unexpressed. What I know, indeed, what I am becomes to me a burden. My tongue hangs useless" (Malamud 37).
